5 common dating mistakes guys make
Trying to build comfort before developing attraction:
This is how you end up in the friend zone. There are plenty of ways to develop/create attraction, and that is a long discussion on its own, but if you try to build comfort/rapport before you have attraction, you will end up in the friend zone.
Not recognizing when a woman isn’t open to being approached:
People will say there is never a bad time to approach a woman, and there is some truth to that, but there are some things women will do to let you know they are not interested … to you individually and to everyone. Learning to recognize obvious signals (like headphones) will spare you a lot of frustration.
The grand gesture:
Romantic comedies have made guys think this is a good idea. The reality is that it will probably creep her out, especially if you’re not sleeping together. Even then it might, so don’t even think about it.
Giving a woman too much value too quickly:
Just because you think she’s good looking doesn’t mean she’s right for you. Until you know her, she can’t have value. Most guys make the mistake of putting women they don’t actually know on a pedestal, which is also unfair to the woman who can’t possibly live up to the unrealistic expectations you’ve put on her.
Giving more focus to your words than your body language:
When talking to a woman, men put way too much thought and analysis into the words they are saying instead of focusing on the more important elements of communication. Research suggests that communication is actually 60% body language, 33% tone and 7% language. Your body language, tone of voice, cadence, eye contact and appropriate physical contact will do more to move the relationship forward than your words.
